Explanation
The amendment strikes the underlying bill and its associated fiscal
impact.
The amendment results in a cost to the UConn Health Center of
approximately $220,000 in FY 24 and $225,000 in FY 25 (and annually
thereafter), associated with establishing an endometriosis data and
biorepository program, including research. Costs for FY 24 include: 1)
$124,000 in additional staff costs and fringe benefits, 2) $88,000 in
indirect facility and administrative costs, and 3) $8,000 in materials and
supplies. Staff costs and indirect costs increase slightly in FY 25, for a
total of $225,000.
The amendment requires the UConn Health Center to establish the
program in collaboration with a research laboratory within Connecticut.
The amendment is unclear how the costs to the private laboratory would
be covered. If the cost were borne by the UConn Health Center, it is 2023HB-06672-R00LCO07311-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
estimated that an additional state cost of $248,000 in FY 24 and $510,000
in FY 25 would be incurred. The additional costs in FY 24 would include:
1) $115,000 in indirect costs, 2) $68,000 in materials and expenses, and 3)
$65,000 in staff costs. In FY 25, the additional costs would include: 1)
$201,000 for materials, supplies and sample collection, 2) $195,000 in
facility and administrative costs, and 3) $114,000 in staff costs. UConn
Health's costs could be offset by any grants, gifts, or other funding
secured for the purposes contained within the amendment.
